![]() To work the transistor as an amplifier, a load resistor RC must be connected to the collector. In a transistor amplifier configuration, the IC (max) is the maximum current that can flow through the transistor and VCE (max) is the maximum voltage applied across the device. The value of this voltage and current are expressed in terms of the Q-Point. DC biasing is used to obtain the DC collector current at a particular collector voltage. ![]() The Operating point is also known as the Bias point or Q-Point (Quiescent point).īiasing is referred to provide resistors, capacitors, or supply voltage, etc to provide proper operating characteristics of the transistors. The operating point is the point on the output characteristics that shows the Collector-Emitter voltage and the Collector current with no input signal. For the proper working of the circuit, it is necessary to bias the transistor using resistor networks. Transistors may be NPN, PNP, FET, JFET, etc which have different functions in electronic circuits. They are used as electronic switches, amplifiers, etc in circuits. Transistors are the most important semiconductor active devices essential for almost all circuits. The applications of FET’s are in a low noise amplifier, buffer amplifier, and an analog switch. There are many types of FET’s, MOSFET, JFET, etc. The channel of FET which is made of silicon. FET channel is formed by moving of positive and negative charge carriers. This transistor controls the positive and negative carriers concerning holes or electrons. The arrows of the PNP transistor symbol the direction of current flow when the device is in forwarding active mode. That is when PNP transistor is ON when its base is pulled low relative to the emitter. ![]() The base current entering the collector is amplified at its output. P-N-P transistor, consisting of a layer of N-doped semiconductor between two layers of P-doped material. It comes with two types, P-N-P and N-P-N. One thing all of these transistors have in common is that they each have three leads.Ī Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) has three terminals connected to three doped semiconductor regions. The simple diagrams of BJT and FET are shown in the figure below: Bipolar Junction Transistor(BJT) Field-Effect Transistors(FET)Īs you can see, transistors come in a variety of different sizes and shapes. For a field-effect transistor, it also has the three terminals, they are gate, source, and drain, and a voltage at the gate can control a current between source and drain. A small current is flowing between the base and the emitter the base terminal can control a larger current flow between the collector and the emitter terminals. ![]() There are two types of transistors is present they are bipolar junction transistors (BJT), field-effect transistors (FET). The basic idea behind a transistor is that it lets you control the flow of current through one channel by varying the intensity of a much smaller current that’s flowing through a second channel. Base: This is responsible for activating the transistor. ![]()
